COURSE DESCRIPTION:

The course is designed to provide participants with the necessary knowledge and skills to plan, select, and implement instrumentation programs in geotechnical features for construction monitoring and performance verification. The course will discuss measurement tools, including recommendations for a systematic and complete approach to planning monitoring programs. The course presents recommendations for selecting proper instrumentation for various types of construction. Tasks covered include calibration, maintenance and installation of instrumentation, collection of data, processing and presentation of collected data, interpretation of processed data, and reporting of results.

Recognize role of instrumentation and how it is used for answering key geotechnical questions

Identify available instruments and where to find additional information and assistance

Plan an instrumentation program in a systematic way

Examine practical methods to collect and use data from instrumentation

Perform an evaluation of the need for and potential benefits of geotechnical instrumentation on a project

TARGET AUDIENCE:

The target audience is bridge, geotechnical, or transportation engineers with 0 to 20 years of experience and responsible for the planning, design, and implementation of instrumentation programs for geotechnical construction on surface transportation facilities.
